Calculate the Speed of Sound in Air vs. Temperature

The velocity of sound can be calculated in metric units as

vms = 20.05 (273.16 + tC)1/2                       (1)

where

vms = velocity of sound (m/s)

tC = temperature (°C)

Velocity of sound in Imperial units:

vfts = 49.03 (459.7 + tF)1/2                       (2)

where

vfts = velocity of sound (ft/s)

tF = temperature (°F)

Note that speed is a scalar quantity. Velocity is vector quantity with direction.
